The following people are covered by the University's travel insurance while travelling on behalf of the University anywhere in the world:
You must register all travel plans via completion of a Business Travel Request (‘BTR’) form; which is a mandatory requirement for all staff and students travelling as part of a university program.
To access the BTR, navigate to your Business Travel portal in Appian. Your portal provides links to the BTR form and your Traveller Profile (which must be updated before each request), as well as links to your current and historic BTRs (when initiated within Appian).
Once you have completed the BTR you are automatically covered by the University Travel Insurance unless you have been given directions to contact University Insurance Office which appear at the end of the BTR process.
The below image is example of Confirmation Travel Insurance approval.
Unless travel arrangements are registered on a BTR prior to commencement of travel, lodging a claim for any event giving rise to a claim, will be problematic.
It is also strongly recommended that staff and student review guidance relating to travel destination with the Australian Governement’s Smartraveller service: smartraveller.gov.au
Once you have confirmed your journey is covered under the University's travel insurance, we recommend you print the following pages and carry them with you:
